On Sunday, the Oklahoma Sooners, who have clinched the past two Women's College World Series titles and are strongly favored to repeat this season, were awarded the top overall seed in the 2023 NCAA softball tournament. After a dominant victory against Texas on Saturday, securing the Big 12 championship and improving their season record to an impressive 51-1, there was no doubt that the Sooners would claim the No. 1 spot in the regional seedings announced on Sunday.
